Re: [jed-users] Updating the buffers

[Roland Hughes <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Martin,

I was just pointing out that what you want cannot be done without going 
down the road of a collaboration editor. The pop-up should be doable 
since it already has a pop-up of some kind, per your message.

Here is a stupid question, please don't get offended

Why don't you exit Jed on the machine you walk away from and just up 
arrow to launch it again on the same file when you return?

Personally, unless it is a project I don't care about, I don't leave an 
editor up, especially over night. Too easy for something unrelated to go 
wrong and machine causing editor to corrupt open file. Automated backup 
would then back up a corrupted version. If the backup doesn't go back 
far enough in history, you can't get back to an uncorrupted version.

I hope you find a solution. I've already provided my 0.0002 cents.

Roland
